NC State men's soccer released its 2014 fall schedule on Wednesday, featuring home dates against North Carolina, Louisville, and Syracuse.

The Wolfpack added the third-ranked recruiting class in the nation according to Top Drawer Soccer, which joins a squad of returnees that narrowly missed the NCAA Tournament following a season-ending win at No. 10 North Carolina and a final RPI of 34.

"This will be an interesting year for our conference as we move to a division format," said NC State head coach Kelly Findley. "This is a great change for our league, but also for our program. I expect it to create competition within the divisions and in the conference at large.

"We also have a very strong out of conference schedule that's very balanced, provides us with great competition, and sets up an opportunity in the NCAA Tournament. We were obviously disappointed in not getting a bid to last year's tournament, and feel that our players are capable of handling this schedule. We want them to be challenged, and create a postseason opportunity for themselves by playing up to a high standard."
